Thanks Benard, Do you think some services might stop working if i completely migrate the entire var to the external hard disk?
Drop to single user mode Mount the new filesystem on whatever mountpoint you wish (let's call it /bigstore) mkdir /bigstore/var cd / dump -L0af - /var | (cd /bigstore/var; restore -rf -) umount /var vi /etc/fstab and comment it out ln -s /bigstore/var /var reboot into multiuser mode I hope Linux supports growfs so you could reclaim the partition you just umounted into /

I believe you can mount extra storage and soft link /var to it. Or you can NFS share a network storage to /var.

Hi Guys, One of my web server runs ubuntu server 10.10. I installed it on a 200GB harddisk and assigned /var 70GB but now seems to be full, anyone know whether i can mount a 1TB external harddisk on var and manage to extend the space to 1070GB, i have tried using LVM in vain.
